Note: CivHybridGames seemed like fun, and so, while looking for a faction to join, I noticed the Vandals. I love lost causes, so I thought I could have some fun here. This is my first time posting to this sub/group of subs, so please tell me if I do anything wrong.

My fellow Vandals:

For too long, we have been at war. France took our homes and our lives, and we were powerless to stop them. If we are to have any chance of survival, we must make peace with all those who would threaten us. Our only hope for survival is to end any ongoing feuds, large or small, and re-establish ourselves as a small, peaceful nation. We tried the whole warmongering thing; it didn't work. What did it get us? We are now just a rump state living at the mercy of France and Carthage.

My fellow Vandals: I propose we make peace with whatever nations are currently at war with us, and strive to establish better relations with the major powers, particularly France. Personally, I have adopted Nestorianism, as the Holy Fire hath been extinguished, as have any hopes of returning to the old ways. For all of our sake, I suggest you do the same.

The time for war is over. Now is the time for peace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My proposals:

• Make peace with all other nations

• Spend 1 AP to speed up the conversion to Nestorianism. Hopefully this will appease France, and hopefully this will prolong our survival. If IGE makes this impossible, then just spend 3 AP on a missionary instead.

• Establish better diplomatic relations with France and Carthage; get embassies in whatever nations do not already have them.

• Choose option 1 in /u/Canadian_Christian's event post. We need to further our relations with other empires, strange as they may be, so that we can peacefully coexist and, potentially, thrive.

Those are just my proposals; thoughts from everyone else?
